Takaya is waiting in
the parking lot for Naoe wondering what is taking him so long,
talking to that old man probably.

More than likely he
wants to keep Naoe by his side…he knows that feeling. Naoe has a
way of making you feel safe just by him being with you. As long as
he is around it feels as though nothing bad could happen to you.

Yeah… like the wings
of a bird covering you, protecting you from harm real or imagined.
He has gotten his powers back along with his full memories. He
remembers what happen thirty years ago and yet it doesn't seem as
important now as it did then.

Nevertheless, why
didn't he just tell him what happen instead of trying to force
himself on him? He was scared, Naoe should have known that. He
didn't remember what they meant to each other or how they had spent
many passionate nights together, holding each other, loving each
other.

On the battlefield they
were on opposite sides but his father Lord Kinshin ask Naoe to stay
by his side and protect him no matter whose body Kagetora possessed.
The strange thing is they have been together four hundred years and
this love hate relationship has lasted that long.

Thirty years ago when
he made him possessed the body of Meniko, he found out Naoe had
forced himself on her. When she ended up with child she didn't
know if the child was his or Naoe's so she took her life. That's
when he told Naoe he would never forgive him and sealed off his
memories of being Lord Kagetora. He could not endure the pain of
losing her or remembering what Naoe had done.

That is all in the
past, they all have different lives now, and Naoe is still the loving
and passionate person he has always been. He knows he is the one who
drove Naoe to do what he did and he knows he should take part of the
responsibly…if not all. He did use Naoe for his own amusement and
pleasure however, it was not one sided. Now that he has all his
memories back, he plans to have Naoe back as well.

Naoe is walking to his
car and searching for his keys. Takaya steps off from the wall and
says, "Why didn't you stay and work for him Naoe? I wouldn't
have mind. I know you like doing things on your own."

Naoe looks at him with
a half smile and says, "Are you sure you wouldn't have mind? I
remember you wanting all the attention focused on yourself. Has
something changed I don't know about?"

Naoe turns his head and
gives Takaya a slight bow. He puts his hand in his pocket, taking
out the key and sliding it in the lock.

He is thinking to
himself, "I should have taken him when I had the chance earlier.
Now I have to endure his endless torture and he knows that I love
him, that I would do anything for him. Now all he wants to do is see
me squirm. I can't go on like this I have too end this once and
for all."

Takaya walks up behind
Naoe and whispers in his ear. "Are you going to be a loser and run
from me again?"

Naoe turns quickly; he
had not notice that he was so close. He could feel his breath on the
side of his neck, it felt warm, hot even…if only he could turn and
kiss the lips that were so close.

He is frozen to this
spot he cannot move, Takaya is standing to close, and he can feel the
heat of his body next to his. Takaya reaches for his wrist and says,
"Answer me Naoe…or does it have to be an order? We both know you
can't refuse an order don't we?"

Naoe lets out a breath
he did not realize he had been holding. He smiles, as he says, "No,
I hadn't plan on running…I'm going back to temple. You do
remember in this life I am a Monk. I've been away for a while but
I still have duties to fulfill."

He looks down at
Takaya's hand on his and looks in his face. Takaya is watching him
with a half smile on his face.

Takaya knows that Naoe
wants him and wants him badly; he is wondering if after four hundred
years of longing he should finally give in. The way that Naoe feels
is really not the way he feels. He may have been taken against his
will before but that does not mean he can accept Naoe's feelings
now. What is in the past should stay in the past. The only problem
with this is he didn't want to be without Naoe's companionship.
He is the only one that truly understands him. Maybe he has been
arrogant and conceited; he couldn't help it, that's just the way
he is. People always misunderstood his actions. No matter what he
did, no one really understood him.

He looks at Naoe and
asks, "Can you give me a ride to the train station Naoe? I have
class tomorrow and I've already missed too many days." Naoe
opens the door and says, "Are you sure you want to ride with me…you
trust me not to attack you?" Takaya chuckles as he says, "It's
just a ride to the train station. With both hands on the wheel
there's really nothing you could do to me…am I right?" Naoe
smiles and says, "Don't worry Takaya your virtue is safe with me.
I've learned my lesson and I will never do that again."

They arrive at the
Tokyo Station and find that because of the snow the trains are not
running.

"Damn! Now what I'm
going to do, I canceled my room and I don't want to spend the night
in this cold place."

Naoe smirks to himself,
"Maybe faith is on my side, I may get another chance but this time
I'll play his game on him."

Takaya looks over at
Naoe from the corner of his eye. He is waiting for him to offer his
place for the evening. Naoe smiles as he says, "I know you may not
want to but you could stay at the temple tonight and I will bring you
back here in the morning…if you so desire."

Takaya looks at the
ceiling and sighs, "I guess I have no other choice…I am hungry,
you do have food right?"

Naoe turns the car
around and heads for the temple. He is so happy that it is hard to
contain himself. Little does he know that Takaya is also happy. He
had a feeling the station would be closed because of the snow. When
they had came back it was snowing lightly and had been coming down
faster by the minute. Chances of the station being open were highly
unlikely. Takaya leaned back to enjoy the ride to the temple. Naoe
is smiling to himself for the entire ride home.

He takes Takaya to one
of the baths and tells him dinner will be ready soon. He lays out a
yukata for him to wear and goes to his room.

Takaya watches as Naoe
leaves the room, he turns, goes into the shower letting the water run
down his body as soaps the sponge. The warm water feels good on his
skin as he glides the sponge over his body. He is thinking how it
would feel if these were Naoe's hands instead of his own.

He leans his head back
and rubs the sponge over his chest pretending it is Naoe stroking him
lightly with the rough sponge. He rubs his arms and makes circles
with it on his stomach, he moves lower and rubs softly and then
increases his movement. He can feel himself getting hard, thinking
about Naoe and rubbing himself on his private parts. He is rubbing
himself faster as he pictures Naoe doing this to him, he is moaning
and drops the sponge and puts one hand on the wall under the
showerhead. Takaya has his head down so he doesn't see when Naoe
comes into the shower.

Naoe stops, standing in
the doorway, watching Takaya. As he looks at him, he licks his lips
because they have suddenly gone dry. He can hear Takaya moaning and
it sounds like he is calling out a name.

Naoe slips closer to
make out what he is saying because he is speaking almost in a
whisper. Then when he is about to climax, Naoe hears him call his
name. He is in total shock; he never thought he would be witness to
something like this. Naoe backs up out of the shower quietly, trying
not to make a sound. He walks in to the other room and drops to his
knees with his hand over his mouth. He is looking around wildly
wondering if he is dreaming.

"Did he really call
for me as he was climaxing? What does this mean…does he really
want me and can't admit it? Come to think of it he was waiting on
me when I came out of the hotel tonight. I thought he had already
left for the evening. He was pretty quiet on the way back and he did
just get out of the car without a word. He walked away and never
looked back. I just knew he was gone once again from my life but
this is different. It's as though he wanted to come here. Like it
was his idea we came to the temple. Could he have planed this all
along? He is a manipulative person and Lord Kagetora did not do
anything he didn't want to do.

Takaya and Naoe are
sitting down to dinner. Takaya is eating and watching Naoe at the
same time. Naoe was in this room when he came out of the shower and
went in when he came out and never once looked in his face or said
anything to him.

Could he have seen him
in the shower because even now he is reluctant to meet his eyes?
Well he will make him look at him or he will throw the remainder of
his dinner at him.

"Why are you so
quiet Naoe, I thought you would be happy to have me spend the night
with you…was I wrong?" Naoe looks up at him and says, "Are you
saying you want to spend the night with me or at this temple?"

Takaya is taken aback
at the boldness of that statement and drops his chopsticks. "What
are you saying…you still have a desire for me? I thought you
wanted to be rid of me? Now you're saying you still want me, like
that?"

Naoe lays his
chopsticks by his plate. "You seem to forget that I love you, I
think I told you that before. Nothing has changed and if you have
your memories back you should know that you want me too…Lord
Kagetora. You are no longer Takaya Ogi so let's stop playing games
with each other."

Naoe leans forward
with his elbows on the table with his chin resting on his folded
hands. Takaya puts both hands on the table as if to rise and looks
at Naoe with his eyes narrowed.

Naoe raises his hand
in a dismissive manner and says, "You know I saw you in the shower…
by accident and I heard what you said. Maybe I should have joined
you then and you wouldn't be in denial now."

He looks at Takaya, as
he sits back down his face is red. He puts his head down and his
hands are in fists. He says, "Since you saw me why didn't you
say something or at least let your presence be known." He looks at
Naoe and says, "So now what do we do?"

Naoe smiles, he is
thinking he has him, now he knows that patience is a virtue but this
should make him a saint. No one has ever waited as long as he has
for a night with the one they loved.

"Well you could let
me make love to you and the next shower that you take won't be
along. What do you say? One night is all I ask and if anything else
happens it will be by your choice. I promise I won't try to get to
you again and I will respect decision."

Takaya looks at him and
says, "Why not, I haven't had sex with anyone in thirty years and
this body is a virgin so let's go for it.

Naoe leads him to his
bedroom, goes out, and dismisses his servant for the night. He did
not want anyone else in the house but the two of them.

He walks over to the
mat where Takaya is already sitting. There are candles all round the
room because he still liked the soft light of four hundred years ago.
Some things he felt should not have changed. He loosens his yukata
and sits beside him, leans in and kisses him. He pulls back and
looks into Takaya's face. He has his eyes close but when Naoe
pulls back, he opens them and looks in his face.

"Do you know how much
I desire you right now?" Takaya puts his hand on Naoe's face and
says, "Yes I do but what you don't know is how much I want you.
I have always felt safe with you and I know this time will be no
different." He pulls Naoe's head down and kisses him; Naoe
sticks his tongue inside Takaya's mouth as he lies back on the mat.

Naoe pulls his yukata
open and kisses him on the chest, encircling his nipple with his
tongue as Takaya moans low in his throat. He licks him in the center
of his chest and at the same time he is pulling off his clothes.
Takaya slides his arm out of one sleeve and the other is trapped.

Naoe raises his head
and chuckles, "Now I have you the way I want you stuck and unable
to get away. Here allow me to help." He pulls the sleeve down
slowly and follows each move with a kiss. When he finally pulls it
off, he discovers that Takaya is naked underneath.

He pulls his own yukata
off and leaves them in a pile on the side of the mat. He is kissing
Takaya and licking him lower on his stomach until he gets to his
erection. He cups it in his hand and brings it to his lips. He
kisses it and licks it on the sides. Takaya eyes fly open and he
says, "Naoe what are doing…you can't do that…can you?"
Naoe looks at him and says, "You have never had sex with anyone
like this before?"

Takaya says, "Naoe,
I have never found anyone I wanted to have sex with…until you that
is. Before I have only used my hand and that is as far as it has
gone. I feel like a naïve child when it comes to making love so
please be gentle with me… for now."

Naoe is surprised that
he would admit something like that. Maybe he hasn't gotten all his
memories back after all. He remembers him loving this part of it but
now it looks as though this will be a first for him. Naoe is
thinking he has to be careful he doesn't want to frighten him too
much. Naoe kisses him again on the mouth and tells him to relax he
will remember the pleasures they use to have before long.

Takaya head is thrown
back as Naoe is doing wonders with his tongue and hands. He is
licking the insides of Takaya thighs and following it with light
kisses. He takes Takaya's erection in his mouth and sucks on it
and looks up in his face. He sees that he is in a trance, calling
his name softly, moving his hips in rhythm with his movements.
Takaya is holding Naoe's head and saying how good it feels, so
good.

When Naoe reaches up
and puts his two fingers in Takaya's mouth. He sucks on his
fingers licking them with his tongue and holding them in place. He
is enjoying this because it is all new to him. Naoe is getting
harder by the minute, he feels like he is about to explode. He takes
his fingers out of Takaya's mouth and with on hand lifts his hips.
He puts in one finger and slowly opens him up.

Takaya moans with the
slight pain that gives way to pleasure and Naoe inserts the second
finger. Takaya is moving his hips back to take it all in because
this feels somewhat familiar, the pain first…then the pleasure.
Naoe slides his finger around until he finds his pleasure spot and
presses down. Takaya gasps and holds on to Naoe's head almost
pulling his hair out. His head is thrashing from side to side. He
doesn't know how much more of this he can take.

Naoe pulls his mouth
off and pulls Takaya on to his lap, he is sweaty and slippery right
now and Takaya has his arms around Naoe's neck as he breaths
heavily. He kisses Naoe on the neck and bites him drawing blood, and
then he sucks on the same spot and gently kisses it. Naoe lifts
Takaya up slowly and places him on top of his erection. He eases him
down slowly so as not to shock him to much all at once but Takaya has
other ideas. He pushes down on Naoe, takes him in all at once and
kisses him at the same time. It is Naoe's turn to be surprised; he
did not think he would do something like this.

He is pumping Takaya up
and down on his erection, he has not has this much pleasure in a long
time he almost feels like crying. He holds on too Takaya almost
stopping his movements. Takaya puts his hands on his shoulders and
throws his head back and calls Naoe' name in such a sweet voice
that Naoe just melts.

He lays him on his back
never breaking contact and starts to pound into him saying,
"Takaya…I'm sorry…I can't hold back…you're so…hot…it
feels so good." Takaya is taking it all with moans of pleasure; he
is calling out for Naoe. "Deeper…yes Naoe…deeper yes that's
it…oh Naoe you're so good."

They both climax at the
same time with Naoe's body giving off little spasm of pleasure
until he is well spent. Takaya has cum all over Naoe's stomach and
their bodies are mixed with sweat and cum, they are sticky with their
lovemaking.

Naoe rolls on to his
back bringing Takaya on top of him. He kisses Takaya deeply pushing
his tongue inside of his mouth. He accepts it and sucks on it like
it's a lifeline. Naoe is holding Takaya as if he is the most
precious thing in the world and to Naoe he is the most precious
person to him. He kisses him on top of the head and says, "I love
you more than my own life. You belong to me and I'll never give
you up."

Takaya reaches up and
kisses him lightly and says, "I know you love me and for that I'm
grateful but what do we do now? I don't know what to do now Naoe.
You have to help me."

He is holding on to
Naoe crying against his chest. The tears are coming out slowly he
doesn't realize they're falling because of their sweat soaked
bodies. His tears are blending in with the sweat of their bodies.

Naoe pulls his head
back and says, "You can stay here with me, I don't want you to go
back I can make you happy with me. I'll never allow anyone to hurt
you and you'll always be safe with me. I will give my life to
protect you. Stay here with me or we can go anywhere you want to go.
With our powers we may be together for eternity. We can even stop
fighting vengeful sprits if you want. I'll do anything you say to
be with you."

Takaya holds him
tightly and says, "I never want to leave you again Naoe, of that
I'm certain so yes I will stay with you forever…I'll be with
you always."

Hi everyone, if you
have any feedback, please let me know. This is my try at this kind
of thing I hope you like it. Naoe and Takaya are two of my favorite
characters, I have waited for an ending, and I think it may have
ended this way.
